Windsor 4.20 tips – Calibration measures up well

Crowley also gets the keg up on the Martyn Meade-trained CALIBRATION in the 1m nursery and the son of Excelebration should not be away based on racecourse evidence, despite the burden of top weight.

He clearly found 6f too sharp on his Ascot debut, though he still showed promise to finish third, just half a length behind Rivet in second. That horse has since landed a Group 2 at Doncaster and a strict interpretation of the form suggests that the selection is thrown in off a mark of 82. Runner-up on his two subsequent starts over 7f, the last time behind a Derby entrant with a subsequent winner behind in third, he’s now trying 1m for the first time and he should relish it given how strongly he has been hitting the line in his races. He rates today’s nap.
